Description

This is an ant-mimicking jumping spider in the genus Mymarachne (Literally meaning “Mimic spider”).

They do not need to feed on ants  – crickets are perfectly fine for feeding. 
Alternatively, they will feed on termites (make sure they’re not termite soldiers, only the soft bodied workers) or Drosophila (fruit flies).

They both look like, smell like (to an ant) and act like an ant, probably mimicking Polyrachis (Metallic spiny ants) sp.
